We had only one night to stay in this hotel that seemed to be a five star in old days on our way back to Rome. Our room was very clean and spacious with a very nice view of the sea. I also enjoyed using the indoor swimming pool. The staff were also very nice and helpful. the breakfast was very limited and I think it was because not many people were staying at our time. By the way there was a pizzeria restaurant close by called Bambu. Their food was excellent

Amazing views and great breakfast. We stayed in the older section and the rooms are not up to date. Room had ants on the desk, we could not get our room switched to a different section, only offer the room next door. Air conditioning smelled moldy. We stayed there during a wedding which was a bad idea. Loud music went late into the night along with fireworks. Entrance is very steep, difficult to get in and out of the resort. Overall, it could be amazing, but too many issues, even ran out of toilet paper and was tough to get more. Overall was not a great stay.
